Tips

NoteDon't slice the mushrooms too thin. They shrink on the grill and I want enough mushroom left to actually fill the bun.
NoteThis is also a recipe where the toppings matter almost as much as what's inside.

Frequently asked

Can I cook these indoors?+

Yes — a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat works well.

What if I can't find large portobellos?+

Smaller caps work too; slice them thicker and grill for a little less time so they don't dry out.
